White House counselor Kellyanne Conway appeared to suffer a verbal glitch on Wednesday when she apparently referred to President Donald Trump as the “commander of cheese.” Conway, when asked about the recent dust-up over the president disinviting the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House, said, “The problem with the President of the United States, and the commander of cheese — chief — expressing that opinion is what?”The slip of the tongue was captured by several people on Twitter, who posted the brief clip of Conway. In 2017, Conway also said she misspoke when she cited a nonexistent “Bowling Green massacre” when explaining Trump’s travel ban. … [Read more...] about Kellyanne Conway appears to accidentally call Trump ‘commander of cheese’

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that the president was not aware of exactly when payments were made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, despite his own attorney saying it was the president who made the payments. Rudy Giuliani, a member of the Trump legal team, told Fox News last week that it was the president who had repaid his personal attorney Michael Cohen for a $130,000 payment to Daniels as part of an agreement to keep an alleged affair quiet. Giuliani's revelation differed from what Mr. Trump had previously told reporters aboard Air Force One, which was that he was not aware of the payment and that he didn't know where Cohen had gotten the money. "The president told me just yesterday that when he said no on Air Force One last month he's talking about when the payment occurred, that he was not aware of the payment to Ms. Daniels when the payment occurred," Conway told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "And that is consistent with his tweets from a … [Read more...] about Kellyanne Conway says Trump was not aware of Stormy Daniels payments when they occurred

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who recently joined President Trump's legal team, sent shockwaves through Washington last week.

Kellyanne Conway defended her husband's sometimes critical tweets about her boss, then lambasted a CNN anchor for bringing it up. Lawyer George Conway has recently made a handful of critical social media posts about President Trump, but the White House counselor argued he “writes a lot of things that are also supportive.” Conway, appearing Sunday on “State of the Union,” added he also posts “a lot of things about Corgis and Philadelphia Eagles.” Then, however, she took anchor Dana Bash’s question as a major slight that brought family members into politics. Conway suggests Comey ‘loved being alone in the Oval Office' “It’s fascinating to me that CNN would go there,” she said. “But it’s very good for the whole world to just witness that it’s now fair game how people’s spouses and significant others may differ with them. I’m really surprised, but very, in some … [Read more...] about Kellyanne Conway blasts CNN for asking about her husband’s critical tweets about Trump

The White House painted ex-FBI Director James Comey as a power hungry bureaucrat who relished private meetings with President Trump. “This man, Jim Comey, loves to be within the proximity of power and having dinner alone with the President,” Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the President, said on ABC News’ “Good Morning America.” “He loved being alone in the Oval Office, and wanted a piece of it.” Comey previously expressed concern about being left alone with the commander-in-chief during his first months in office — reportedly going as far as trying to blend in with the White House curtains so Trump wouldn’t spot him. She lambasted Comey’s leadership of the bureau, particularly over the probe into Hillary Clinton’s emails. James Comey’s wife was ‘devastated’ when Hillary Clinton lost “This guy swung an election,” Conway said. “He thought the wrong … [Read more...] about Kellyanne Conway fires back that James Comey ‘loved being alone in the Oval Office’ with Trump
